WASHINGTON -- The U.S. government has begun an advertising campaign to tell more than 200,000 longtime illegal immigrants that they may be eligible for lawful permanent residency under legislation that expires this year.

The $784,000 radio, television and poster campaign is the largest paid promotion effort the Immigration and Naturalization Service has undertaken since an amnesty program for illegal immigrants in the 1980s, agency spokeswoman Virginia Kice said.

Tasse,

That is really funny, it reminds me of buses in Southern India. They are run by private operators who make money based upon the number of people they cram inside. They usually do the same thing, call lots of people pack them in the bus and keep the bus waiting till they can stuff in more people until there is not a single free ounce of free space! People who have actually seen this happening will understand the analogy better!

But coming back to the point. This is exactly a case of hurry up and wait, register with the INS to become legal, then face deportation since you have walked into the lion's cave! And if you survive the deporation, join the hundreds of thousands of people awaiting approval since the processing time is still as slow as ever! Bloody Morons!
